The year was 4163 in Earth History. The extensive history of humanity, under the banner of the Earth Empire, was coming to an end.
Leading the Earth Empire’s 109th Patrol Fleet was 79-year-old Rear Admiral Liliane Luzoule. Though having attained her current position through seniority, she once held high promises as the only daughter of the former chief of staff. However, due to a single fatal mistake sixty years ago, she had lost her first love, her friends, her family, and any trust people had for her. Now, a declining patrol fleet is all she leads.
Under the looming shadow of the Horsehead Nebula, a major offensive fleet from an enemy that has been at war with the Earth Empire for over sixty years, was fast approaching. Against an overwhelming threat, Liliane’s fleet was sent as a sacrificial pawn and was unceremoniously annihilated. Under the glow of heavy particle beams, Liliane departed from this world… is how it was supposed to go. However, when she regain consciousness, she had been sent back to her 18-year-old self, who was about to graduate.
Reflecting over how her over-assertiveness had caused everything in her first life, the mentally 79-year-old Liliane decided to take a backseat and let the talented people around her take the wheel. There was a girl she used to mistreat but had tremendous talent as a strategist, so she worked hard so that the girl could demonstrate that talent, regardless of her standing. Before she knew it, the girl attained a high position and was in command of a battleship…!
Furthermore, she had caught the attention of the commander of the moon base! Not to mention, despite being nothing but a figurehead in Liliane’s past life, the commander was a very capable person! To top it all off, that genius strategist had began to adore her, and the admirals that she butted heads against in her past life, began putting their faith in her!
“I stepped off the spotlight, so why is this happening! More importantly, isn’t a war about to break out!?”
